Dear Members,
The Beta release of the April 2017 SNOMED CT® Spanish Edition is now available to SNOMED International Members only, from the MLDS distribution site. This release contains the Spanish language version of the January 2017 SNOMED CT® International Edition.
This Beta release provides SNOMED International Member organizations an opportunity to perform a technical evaluation of the SNOMED CT® files, and to provide feedback to SNOMED International, before the Production Spanish Edition is published by 30th April 2017. Please note that this Release should not be distributed to Affiliate Licensees or any third parties before this date.
When providing feedback, please include as much detail as possible, incorporating references to, or samples of, specific instances of the issue being reported. The absence of sufficient information to allow SNOMED International to confirm the reported issue may result in no action being taken prior to the Production release. Feedback on content related issues will be assessed and prioritized by SNOMED International, and a decision will be made as to whether to address any reported content issues for this release or as part of a future Spanish Edition release. Although all feedback will be carefully reviewed, there should be no expectation that any non-technical issues will be addressed prior to the distribution of the Production release.
Feedback on the Beta release files will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on 20th April 2017 – although Members are urged to submit their findings as early as possible.
All files distributed to SNOMED International Members for the April 2017 Spanish Edition Beta release are available from the “Beta April 2017 v0.1” version in the “Offline & Alpha/Beta Versions” section of the “SNOMED CT Spanish package - Edición en Español” project, which can be found on the “SNOMED International Releases” page in MLDS, accessed here:
